Re: Vintage Bourbon and Shelf Management

I can find 1991 very easily the places that have this and it hasn't sold do not usually have the '92 yet. I started collecting these whiskies a few years back and was able to get '88 '89'90'91 The 86&amp; 87 are gone , I think I saw somewhere that there was a tasting of these and they had to get them from Max Shapira himself. I plan to get a 92 at some point but it should be readily available even after the 93 comes out. Sometimes I wish they hadn't started this because I like to collect and each year there's a new one. Also the Birthday Bourbon is going to be like this . At least I have the first year on that one. Toddy's at Bardstown also have a private label Evan Williams that is dated I have 2000 and 2001 of those.
On the Evan Wiliams SB the practice I see is they usually place the newest vintage on the front facing and the older ones are behind , so if you can find a place that has them pretty deep on the shelf they should have one or 2 years older in back.

Hey Dave come to Ohio!! I have seen from '89 to '92 floating around on the shelves during the course of the years travels (We have '90 @ the local liquor store currently). I wish I woulda picked up the '89 in Toledo when I was there, i heard that one was top notch. Yeah, I agree with Bobby, if they had more than one year's bottling, the newer ones were in front.

Re: Vintage Bourbon and Shelf Management

While in Virginia about two months ago, the sb evan williams was on sale... They had the 92 right up front, but upon looking a little deeper I found 91's and even a few 90's. So from my experience you may have a bit of luck moving the bottles around.
